After a small set back losing game 4 to the Milwaukee Admirals, the Coachella Valley Firebirds regrouped quickly and dismantled the Admirals this evening 5-1 and punched their ticket to the Calder Cup for a second year in a row.
The ice was tilted in the Firebirds favor as they dominated through this game and firebirds center John Hayden led the way with hat trick and goaltender Chris Driedger had 32 saves. The firebirds also dominated on the power play as they were able to put together 2 power play goals as the Admirals were quite undisciplined throughout the contest.
